The problem is that if you specify the volume name, the labelsource
parameter is not necessary.

Okay, here we go:

1. Cancel all processes:
        cancel process <process_number>
2. Check for mounted volumes. If there are any, they should all be idle
after all processes are cancelled. Dismount any volume still in a drive:
        dismount volume <volume_name>
3. Audit the library:
        audit library <library_name> checkl=barcode
4. Open up the library and fill it completely with tapes. Let the library
rehome itself and reset.
5. If they are brand-new tapes (never been used before), run this command:
        label libv <library_name> search=yes checkin=scratch labelsource=barcode
                overwrite=yes
6. Now run
        checkin libv <library_name> search=yes status=scratch checkl=barcode
